Psalm 86:11

Teach me your way, O LORD,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.

Visual Argument

These are pictures I either drew or that my fmaily took. I have no idea how to cite it-- or if I even need to...

Molesto

Estoy muy enojado ahora y tan frustrado con la gente! ¿Por qué todo tiene que ser perfecto y tan complicado? Nadie puede estar nunca satisfecho y nadie es feliz. Todo el mundo exige mucho y nadie entiende lo difícil que es. Como el trabajo de la escuela, algunos profesores y los padres simplemente no saben lo que es pasar todo el día en el trabajo de la escuela y tienen toda su vida centrada en su alrededor. Ellos no saben cuánto trabajo que es. Y luego están las decepciones de cuando se pensaba que hizo algo bien y resulta que estaba equivocado. La vida sólo apesta a veces.

Candlelight ~ Relient K

I love this song! And it has been stuck in my head the last couple days.

To know her is to love her
I'm goin' undercover
To catch a glimpse but not get caught

But to see her, could be worse
If I don't get my head straight first
On second thought I guess I'll not

She's almost brighter than the sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
When they compare

Can't hold a candle to her
'Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays

She outshines anyone
Whoever might dare to bask in
The same candlelight

Oh please, don't seat us in the back
With all the insects and the trash
She is a lady, I'm the tramp

Collecting stares from pairs close by
Then flutters in the butterfly
You just a moth drawn to the lamp

She's like an ancient artifact
Something you're lucky to have found
She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks
When she turns those heads around
Those heads around

Can't hold a candle to her
'Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays

She outshines anyone
Whoever might dare to bask in
The same candlelight

Who may dare to bask in
The same candlelight

She's almost brighter than the sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
When they compare

Can't hold a candle to her
'Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays

She outshines anyone
Whoever might dare to bask in
The same candlelight
In the same candlelight

Does anyone else out there ever feel overwhelmed with life? Like you just want to curl into a ball and sleep 'til this season of life is over? Does anyone else feel like they need to be in control and yet realize there are so many things that are out of their control? Does anyone else pray for comfort and direction and feels the comfort but is lead no where? Does anyone else ever feel so sick of school work and so discouraged when things don't go right? Does anyone else love someone to death and isn't sure if they are loved back? Does anyone else get so distracted they can't concentrate? Does anyone else ever wonder about death and how amazing heaven will be? Does anyone else cry at night when there is no one around to listen? Does anyone else ever feel alone when they are with a group of people? Does anyone else struggle with things they've never told anyone, but are just bursting to come out? Does anyone else remain silent when all they want to do is speak? Does anyone else smile with they are aching inside? Does anyone else compare themselves to other people? Does anyone else ever feel like giving up?

Does anyone else feel the love that God pours down on them when they feel like this? Does anyone else ever hear God whisper encouraging words in their ears? Does anyone else ever feel like they've been touched by God? Does anyone else know what it's like to recieve strength from God when they can't stand on their own?

Does anyone...?
